How to bake juicy chum steaks in the oven? Prepare the products according to the list. Defrost the fish, if necessary, in advance, rinse well, removing the film from the abdomen, and dry with napkins.

Prepare the marinade. To do this, put honey and grainy mustard in a heat-resistant dish, add soy sauce, stir well. That's it - the marinade is ready!

Lightly sprinkle or grate both sides of the steak with dry fish spices. You can add a little salt, but very little, because the soy sauce is salty. Dip the steaks in the marinade, turn over and leave to marinate for 20-30 minutes. During this time, turn it over several more times, for more uniform impregnation with marinade.

Turn on the oven 180 degrees, let it warm. While the fish is marinating, you can make a side dish. After the allotted time, put the fish on a small sprig of rosemary and send it to the oven for 20 minutes right in this dish, along with the marinade. It is very easy to dry the fish, so you should not leave it for longer, just cover the dish with foil before serving. And focus on your oven.

Put a slice of lemon on the baked steaks. Squeeze a little lemon juice onto the fish. Ready-made fish can be served as a stand-alone dish or with a side dish. It is good for both the everyday menu and the festive table. This way you can cook any red fish!
